The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Potential Contestants - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I really hope the scoop in that Ben sent home every returnee.

I am surprised every day by some people I've known for a long time and who they choose to be with. It happens.
And in the Bachelor Bubble? I expect it is even more heightened.

I never would have seen Ben interested at all in Kaitlyn, yet spinning his wheels or not, he chose her.
So either way, that means he played the game to be the Bachelor (which, then he was doing it all for that reason) and/or he was really interested in Kaitlyn (whom I never in a million years could see him interested in).

I guess I won't be surprised by anyone he picks... especially since all these girls are getting the fame/attention/opportunities -- all reasons they go on this show for "love" -- just like Ben.
None of them need it.

Sorry for confusion.... the driveway not being hosed was my joke in reference to the "first ever".

I read it as in very slim and in shape women, not necessarily short

Hopefully. They can give 6'4 Ben some taller than average height women.

Maybe the "Bach first scoop" is that the FIR went to a returnee. It's never happened before.

Most dramatic first episode ever! I can just see it now.

Switched it up and are giving out dandelions this year instead of roses...


My real guess is no one leaves the first night...they have TWO days to make a first impression before the first rose ceremony. That would be "sort of" new...since it's never been done for a Bach before...but it was done for Kait/Britt's season.

That is a good guess too. didn't RS add a "sort of" to that statement.

Yeah..but if it was "true love", he wouldn't have been able to be swayed by producer manipulation. About 11-13 guys weren't swayed by producers and did go with Britt. I honestly think that Ben and Britt are just way too similar. I think that Britt needs someone with a bit more edge (like Jamal, the guy she briefly dated) and Ben needs...well, I don't know what he needs, but someone who pushes him and challenges him. Not someone who is the female, slightly more dramatic version of him. JMO.

And, I don't know about whether the guys would have necessarily picked Britt on their own accord. She's definitely hotter, but Kaitlyn's more fun. Most guys don't go on the show to find true love, they go to get a free vacation. I don't think Britt's season would have had things like Amy Schumer (she herself said she wouldn't have done it if the Bachelorette was Britt) and boxing, which wouldn't have been as fun.

What if he picks her and doesn't see "it" untill after the show?

I know you keep saying "Ben wouldnt do that" "or this" and "he wouldn't like her", etc. But we ALL wont know until it unfolds. We're not Ben.

You may know Ben, but you don't know Becca. What makes you think your impression of her is accurate? She might be totally different in real life than what you're imagining, in which case you can't really say if she's Ben's type or not. Ben liked Kaitlyn of all people, or said he did, and Becca's her bestie so they must share some traits. Becca's just more kind and religious and virginal.

Can someone who is registered on the site please tell RS that it's "she and Kelly", not "HER and Kelly"? He makes this type of grammatical error all the time, and it drives me crazy.

Great point. I do think Ben genuinely liked Kaitlyn, although I don't buy that he was ever in love with her.

I also don't really see what Becca has done so far that is so unforgivable. Yes, I definitely side-eyed the modeling shoots, the shilling products, standing up Jared, etc. but is that different from 99% of the women that go on the show? Nothing that she's done tells me that she's so fame-obsessed and materialistic that Ben wouldn't be into her. If she really was that into fame, she would have gone on BIP, IMO.
